Michaela walked 2/5 mile to the store in 1/4 hour. What is the walking pace?
To find the walking pace, we need to divide the distance walked by the time taken.
The distance walked is given as 2/5 mile.
The time taken is given as 1/4 hour.
To divide fractions, we need to invert the second fraction and multiply.
So, the walking pace is calculated as:
(2/5 mile) / (1/4 hour) = (2/5) * (4/1) = (2 * 4) / (5 * 1) = 8/5 = 1 3/5 mile per hour.
Therefore, the walking pace is 1 3/5 mile per hour.
